WHAT ROLES CAN I APPLY FOR AND WHAT ARE THEY?

Depending on the year, the amount of applications and the number of events that you may want to pull off, some of these roles may disappear; and some new ones can be created!

Roles are not set in stone and the responsibilities that come with them aren’t either. It’s up to your new president and the rest of the team to see and decide who takes on what!

If you’re not sure and have more questions; grab us and ask away! or drop us a message in the ask box at the bottom of the page.
